TUNES Two Irish Polkas

Irish Polkas - this links to a page that includes two polkas , Peg Ryan's and Bill Sullivan's (thanks to Nigel Gatherer for the notation).

There is a tendency in Scotland is to play these tunes, but that is not really the way they should be played. There is a 'bounce' and energy to this Kerry style of playing. It's not about speed - although they are played quite fast.
